Thunderbird Club

[GBassNorth]

Not gonna be late for Thunderbird Thursday this time!


Had the Blackbird out, working on re-learning some of the old Motley Crüe songs I forgot years ago.
Figured that was the obvious bass for the job
(but the Nexus strings are a bit too....twangy? Dunno, might try something different on it, I guess. I kinda liked how the Roto 77s sounded........ )



So, that's what this week's pic is......

GHS boomers might do the trick. Lovin the ones I put on the Greco.

Real gold ?

Maybe, these are the strings…

every time I call it's pushed back a month....

As the doc on Hee Haw used to say, “Well, don’t do that!”

who needs the 5 Point Cafe when you got Mel’s?……

SF isn’t what it used to be, but still a pretty city.
Fog City Diner was always my favorite diner when in town.

A Thunderbird Thursday sneak peek of the Bling Bird in progress and my SG Supreme that I hope to match the finish on when done…

interesting view, for me, not to disrespect anyone but along with NY, Boston, NO, Seattle and Miami it’s the best the US has to offer as far as cities go….

They all have their good and bad points, but IMHO none of them are as nice to visit as they were just 20 years ago. YMMV

ThunderBird Thursday!

I thought I would post a pic of my new burgundy and Inverness green non reverseses!

I went to a local Guitar Center to check one out today. They had a Pelham blue in store there. Oddly the price on the instrument was tagged $1,899. That’s $100 more than the same instrument on their own web site.
They seemed busy so I didn’t wait around to play it or speak with anyone about the discrepancy.

I went to my local GC for the first time in 2 years just to see if they had any in stock... no dice...

MSRP is $1799 can't see how they are asking more...

I would like to visit out West one of these days. Seems fascinating if for nothing else it is so different than KY. I'm admittedly a boring person and those cities hold no interest for me. Wonderful aspects to them all no doubt, but not for me as far as I can tell. Really the only thing that I really dislike about here is cloudy days and Winter, but I keep hearing we won't be having that much longer so I'm all good! No doubt "here" would drive many crazy. Louisville has the population of San Fran I believe, but kind of has a small town feel in some ways.


Thunderbirds flock here in all seasons and hardly ever migrate away.

I'll take the one on the far right when it decides to migrate. Thanks.

We have a gig Saturday night at a local VFW. Plenty of room, so it's gonna be THUNDERBIRD time.
Hadda use the SS Epi EB-0 the past coupla days. Felt weird. Not bad, just sorta wrong.
Addendum: It occurs to me that I should prolly woodshed a little to reacquaint myself with the longer scale.

Nah.

The first solid clam should put you back on track!

If Gaolee changes his mind, I'll happily provide a home for that one. I'm also bi-friendly, so the one to its left is welcome as well (OK, they all are).

 

[Miles_ONeal]

It's happened more than once.

1991


2011


...and here he is with a V-Rod which just happens to be the same Harley I own.

View attachment 4422049

You bought his? Ripped it off? He gave it to you because he got tired of falling off it? Cool!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

I'm thinking motorcycles are not his thing..... One word of advice: Vespa.

Vespas aren't metal. More emo.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

So. I had to Cancel my order for the Burgundy Bird. On the back burner for a while. Have to redirect the funds.

Sorry to hear that, but I get it.

Given that they have one in stock, and almost no one else does, and the dates keep getting pushed out, I can.

I'll pretend it's jazz.
